Zhou Xuan Yun's Pilgrimage Article @ YMAA

My teacher wrote an article for YMAA's news site sharing the story of our pilgrimage this year. Here's a link to it, as it covers much of our experience, and mentions our initiation into Longmen Pai as disciples.

Taiyi Wuxing Application Video (Chen Shixing)

Here's the second piece of the sword video posted previously, this time, focusing on the Supreme Principle Five Element Fist Form (Taiyi Wuxing Quan). This is one of the oldest and higher level Wudang internal forms, and the technique being applied is one of the core skills in the formset.

Sword & Training @ Wudang (Chinese TV)

This episode of a Chinese version of Human Weapon features the student traveling to Wudang to pick up a bit of Sword Skill. Although it is in Chinese, it features Chen Shixing, some sword training, and alot of beautiful scenery. Easy enough to pick up just by watching. Feel free to post any questions. :)

Wednesday Qigong Class

Baduanjin, a famous Qigong set.

The practice of Qigong stems from the Daoist art of Daoyin. This non-martial practice focuses on building the health of the body, while developing Qi through the application of intent and breathing. Qigong offers martial artists a root for strengthening and building their health for training and combat, while the average person gains many benefits in awareness, improved breathing skills, meditation, focus, and physical conditioning of the internal ligaments, tendons, and tissues. This practice is often likened to yoga, but is unique in that it is accessible to everyone, and a practitioner's growth is only limited by their dedication, and not by their injuries, flexibility, or physical ailments.
